This week I am dog sitting which brings to mind the many McNeny household pets we’ve had over the years.

My youngest and I begin the hunt for an appropriate college.

I warn my children about their presence on-line and I ponder the many ways they express themselves. My book excerpt is all about the theatre and the role it played in our family.

With July 4th just around the corner my guest, Dr. Marlene McMillan is joining me to talk about the liberty to homeschool and her new book, The Five Pillars of Liberty. She homeschooled her seven children amid personal difficulties that would daunt the most stalwart of us. She is a teacher, speaker and lobbyist for homeschooling and other educational related subjects. Join us this afternoon for a powerful and interesting show.

About Vivienne

Hello I'm Vivienne McNeny, English to the core and I've just put the kettle on so while its boiling let me tell you a little about myself. I was raised in a convent boarding school while my parents diplomatically hosted cocktail parties at foreign Embassies. After performing in operettas as leading men and prima ballerinas I read child psychology at London Uni; flipped my speedboat while racing in the channel; taught windsurfing and water ski-ing in Southern Andalucia; an American fell in love with me in London and I took up homeschooling in Texas before our children were too old to object.

This concise, easy-to-read book gives a complete argument for the validity of the Christian faith. By highlighting the physical, chemical, and biological evidence indicating that the world was designed, the author demonstrates that science points unmistakably to the existence of God -- and not just any god, but the God of the Bible. This book contains powerful arguments that will challenge the non-Christian and bolster the faith of longtime believers.
